Super productive variety
Easy to grow
I fell in love with this climber, trialled in our garden and greenhouse last summer
First come the delicate flowers, then the green balloon seedpods, each one holding a black seed inside marked with a perfect white heart – hence, its common name Love-in-a-puff.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
